1️⃣ For light degreasing tasks, dilute at 1:15. For heavy-duty degreasing, increase concentration up to 1:5 depending on the level of contamination.

2️⃣ Pre-wet the area before application to aid product spread and prevent streaking.

3️⃣ Apply the degreaser solution to the affected surface using a brush or low-pressure sprayer, starting from the bottom and working upwards in manageable sections to avoid runoff marks.

4️⃣ Let the degreaser sit for 5–10 minutes to break down oils, grease, and grime. Agitate with a brush or scrubber if necessary for stubborn deposits.

5️⃣ Use clean water to rinse away residue. For best results, pressure wash where appropriate.

What is a decarboniser used for?

Decarbonising fluid is used for the rapid removal of carbonised oil, paint, and grease-based contamination from all metal components such as engines, carburettors, gearboxes, machinery, and industrial processing equipment. Decarboniser Fluid is a cold tank immersion de-carbonising agent and solvent degreaser. Decarboniser Fluid is safe to use with most metals, but may soften or distort rubber, plastic, paint, other polymers, and organic materials. It is designed to be used as a cold tank decarbonising fluid and must NOT be heated. Always test first to ensure that your material won’t be damaged. This is a powerful product!

How to decarbonise?

APT’s Decarboniser Fluid carbon remover is the best way to quickly get rid of unwanted carbon deposits without hassle. This decarbonising fluid is supplied as a two-phase liquid. We recommend that you soak the components in the active lower phase, ensuring that they are totally immersed until the contamination is softened or removed. Immersion times required will vary depending upon the degree of soiling (suggestions are made on the back of the packaging or contact our team for specific advice). After removal, we suggest that you allow excess liquid on the components to drain back into the soak tank. Components may be hosed, or pressure washed to remove the loosened soiling if necessary.

Why is decarbonising important?

Decarbonising is hugely important for the maintenance and smooth running of all vehicles that run on engines, it’s essential to ensure optimal functioning and effective working condition. This powerful solvent degreaser is used for the rapid removal of carbonised oil, paint, and grease-based contamination from metal components such as engines carburettors gearboxes, machinery, and industrial processing equipment. With built in evaporation barrier/rust inhibitor makes using the product more pleasant and protects cleaned parts after decarbonising it’s suitable for use on most metals which saves you having to source several products, but you should be careful and check the instructions when looking to use it on other materials.

How to decarbonise petrol engine?

It is paramount to ensure that petrol engines are frequently decarbonised to ensure that engines carburettors gearboxes, machinery, and industrial processing equipment. APT Decarboniser Fluid carbon remover is the best way to quickly get rid of unwanted carbon deposits without hassle. This decarbonising fluid is supplied as a two-phase liquid. The highly active lower phase quickly softens and decarbonises deposits, whilst the upper aqueous phase reduces solvent loss and improves the working environment. With built in evaporation barrier/rust inhibitor makes using the product more pleasant and protects cleaned parts after decarbonising it’s suitable for use on most metals which saves you having to source several products.

What is decarbonisation?

Engine decarbonizing does not involve switching to electric vehicles to avoid carbon emissions. Rather, it involves cleaning up the carbon residue that is left over from the conventional fuel supply used in internal combustion chambers. Decarbonization improves engine performance, as it reduces engine noise, reduces vibration, and restores fuel efficiency. It also decarbonizes other important parts of the engine, such as catalytic converters, and other parts of the vehicle, such as exhaust sensors. Decarboniser Fluid is safe to use with most metals, but may soften or distort rubber, plastic, paint, other polymers and organic materials. It is designed to be used as a cold tank decarbonising fluid, and must NOT be heated. Always test first to ensure that your material won’t be damaged. This is a powerful product!
